Mission

Help people live their best life.  Period.  

A Little About Me

I'm Mandy Self-Sparrow and I live in Charlotte, NC. After years of working in healthcare, I became frustrated with watching people have one fall and their lives would forever be changed.  Or worse, a fear of falling and giving up on enjoying life. I knew I could change that.  

​​

My focus is strength, mobility, fall prevention, balance, cognition, coordination and endurance to help my clients live their best life.   I work with persons of ALL ages, physical and cognitive levels to help them live their best life. 

​

I understand that every person has a unique fitness need, each session is customized to each individual.  Do gyms overwhelm you? Don't even know where to start?  Let me help! 

​

What do you love doing? What do you miss doing? What is your dream? How can I help you get there? 

​​

I am a Functional Aging Specialist, Personal Trainer, Occupational Therapy Assistant, a Tai Chi Instructor and a Nutrition Coach.

Functional Aging Specialist

Our focus includes functional training strategies and movements; how to conduct meaningful assessments of function.  Functional training is not just lowering the weight and doing the same exercise as others. Intentional exercises to increase functional strength. 

​

No matter the age or ability, a person must possess these 6 domains to live their best life:  Cognition/ emotional regulation; Neuromuscular; Musculoskeletal; Cardiorespiratory; Balance and Mobility.  I can help them with these 6 domains!

Tai Chi 

Tai Chi is a wonderful way for us to work on balance, breathing, cognition and control.   I found that Open the Door to Tai Chi is very user-friendly program and inviting for persons of all levels to participate.
